Maintenant Presents Lithuanian & British Poetry

Saturday 9th April, 7pm

Collaborative, ebullient and eminently unique, we present a poetry event featuring some of the most exciting writers emerging in Europe. Challenging the linear notions of poetry as a closed medium, Donatas Petrošius, Gabrielė Labanauskaitė and Tomas S. Butkus from Lithuania will read and write in tandem with three of the UK's most vibrant poets, Chris McCabe, Tim Atkins and Jeremy Reed. This evening will evidence the depth and imagination of contemporary European poetics, declassifying notions of poetry as anything but a remarkable performance art.

• Chris McCabe & Donatas Petrošius
• Tim Atkins & Tomas S. Butkus
• Jeremy Reed & Gabrielė Labanauskaitė

Venue 2, Rich Mix, 35 - 47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA

Admission is free.
